I'm making progress!

I wanted to record where I was up to with my Advanced Studies projects.

This first part of my Detention OWL were the Slytherin knee socks and the next project I wanted to complete was my cotton blanket that I've been working on since early 2009.  I've done all the panels and just need to seam the ends.  I'm really close now.

The third project I want to finish is my 'Red Coat' (also called 'Hey there' for obvious reasons)

I'm about halfway through the hood and then just need to tidy it up.

The last project I'm doing for my Detention OWL is my Snowmelt shawl.  The main problem I have with this is that I don't know for the life of me what I've done with my next ball of yarn. I remember seeing it back in December but now can't find the relevant tub.  If all else fails I'll get another skein and then dye the whole thing.  I'd prefer not to have to do that as I can just about guarantee that I'll find the missing ball immediately afterwards.

Being on the needles at the moment it looks like a definite blob but progress has been made.  At the beginning of January I was down at the gold lifeline.  I've definitely got a fair bit to go but as soon as I finish my other two projects I can focus on this pretty much exclusively (well as soon as I find that yarn anyway)

For my Order Mission I'm making  cardigan, matching hat and a doily.  I haven't locked down the pattern for the latter as I want to make my final decision when I know how much time I've got to play with.  I've got my eye on something so we'll have to see.

I'm still making my way down the back of the cardigan and haven't started the hat or doily.  Time will tell with this one.
